(I accidentally deleted this earlier posting. I also MUST add an angry comment below).
I wrote a posting about her in The Straits Times Blogs here about the genius of Yasmin.
"P.Ramlee, the actor and genius movie director of the 1960s, made Malay movies that reflected the easy-going way of life of the Malays then.
"Yasmin, the genius movie director of her time, was very good at highlighting the angsts of the Malays in the 2000s."
NEW COMMENT - Kencing di atas kubur orang
------------------------------------------------------
So now Kosmo!, the trashy tabloid of Utusan Malaysia, must desecrate her grave with a salacious story on page 1.
If you wanted to attack her, you could have done that four times a year, every year, Bongok.
Because just before every Raya, Lunar New Year, Deepavali or Hari Merdeka, her ads would be on TV.
Or everytime she released a new film. Attack lah then, tell the world.
Why didn't you have the guts to do that then?
So that she could reply.
Why oh why wait until someone is dead and then attack?
As if it was a world scoop or something.
You know how tough it is in Malaysia now to find a MALAY ROLE MODEL that EVERYONE, regardless of ethnicity-religion, love so much?
(Not Dr Mahathir, not even Nik Aziz. Siti? Maybe. But mostly Malays her fans would be).
She was that rare Malay role model.
She showed us to rise above the petty Malay race issues and narrow Islam interpretations.
She showed everyone that there were Malays who are not stupid, Stupid.
- Tak bangga ke orang Melayu Malaysia sebab ramai pengarah filem dari Singapore sanggup terbang ke PJ-USJ nak hadiri pengkebumian Yasmin?
- Ramai rakyat Singapore masih ingat komersial TV anak Melayu ini yang pernah ditayang di Temasek Darul Cina? Ada dua yang dibayar oleh Kementerian Pembangunan Masyarakat, Belia dan Sukan SINGAPORE (MCYS) sedangkan ramai pembuat filem lain di sini pun boleh buat. Satu dari komersial tu di sini.
- Menteri MCYS Singapore mengeluarkan kenyataan takziah untuk anak Melayu yang mati - di sini. Sedangkan kenyataan menteri selalu hanya dikeluarkan jika orang politik besar mati.
- Yasmin sedang dalam pre-production nak buat filem di Singapore, apabila dia meninggal. Tak bangga ke beliau dianggap bagus sehingga nak buat movie kat negeri orang. Projek ini disokong oleh agensi-agensi kerajaan Singapore.
Itulah yang patut digembar-gemburkan.

Rasanya serangan Utusan menerusi KOSMO ada kena mengena dengan kebencian dan dendam kesumat Rais Yatim terhadap Yasmin. Rais pernah secara terbuka menggelarkan Yasmin sebagai Pengarah Filem Perasan dan berperang didalam media dengan Yasmin.
Hanya Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon sahaja dari Kabinet Malaysia yang hadir, mana dia Menteri Penyiaran, Bukankah FINAS kini dibawah Menteri Penyiaran?
This comment was sent to Wong Chun Wai:
Based on what you’ve written, we all should also send the same protest letter or the petition to mStar and The Star since you guys also acknowledge that she was a man.
Check this out:

In the said article it is stated clearly that she was the “1975 Naib Johan, Bintang RTM '75”. If you do some checking, the “1975 Naib Johan, Bintang RTM '75” was Zulkifli Ahmad. So Yasmin Ahmad is Zulkifli Ahmad. The article was published on the 26 July, 2009 - much earlier that Kosmo!
Even though it is a Bernama article (should we also now send the letter to Bernama and boycott the news agency), you guys published it with all eyes opened.
I guess the associations representing the advertising agencies and advertisers should also act against mStar and The Star.
So, what say you?? If this comment is not published, I guess I know why.
Rakan Sekerja.
bagus benor ke singapore punya movie? Kalau singapore je semua baguih piiii dahhh .......
